First, I would like to commend 343 for all the hard work they have done, getting the beta ready for us to play test and finishing the game. The beta is a lot of fun and undoubtedly there are going to be some issues that need to be addressed. Having satisfying movement is important in this day and age of competitive gaming. Sprint feels useless outside of existing to aid the player in the slide mechanic which also seems to serve no purpose and isn’t even satisfying. The movement should compliment layers of depth and increase the skill gap. Instead, sprint is useless and not satisfying. Slide literally serves no purpose whatsoever and isn’t satisfying either. Infinite grapple hooks may change this and increase the skill gap significantly! The things players would do with unlimited grapple hooks would be out of this world. As of right now, Infinite needs something more than what we have because it’s so vanilla and not in a good way. Think of Halo 5’s thruster packs (which was awesome) and replace that in Halo infinite with the grapple hooks!
no. Sure the things people can do with it is great, but not for general play. Those kinds of modes are for custom games or a specific mode, not general arena
Also, slide is useful for initiating combat and can be use to excelerate map traversal by using it in specific ways. Sprint is there for 2 reasons, 1 being to initiate slide and the other let people who like sprint to feel like they can sprint. Whether its a massive speed boost is irrelevant

So in summary. No slide, no sprint and unlimited use of grappling hook. What?
